Pete Spitler’s second book release in the Tango series, Tango Oceanus, is another riveting tale based on real events. This new installment set around climate events is a complete stand-alone prequel. Spitler does an amazing job tying into the future events of the first book released in the Tango series, Tango Atlantica, while also masterfully setting up a third book.

This time the Army, Navy SEALs, CIA and world-renowned scientists battle a different climate technology developed by Russia. It’s a fascinating fact-filled maritime adventure in the vein of The Hunt for Red October, but with a scrappier more motley cast of characters.

In an intriguing unexpected twist, Spitler introduces a futuristic subplot, leaving an enticing cliff hanger. The historical imagery also lends some cool Steampunk visuals to the story.

Spitler plays with the reader’s imagination and sense of reality in a way that makes you want to read his books again while waiting for the next one!
